Hi everyone,
A few months ago, I posted a few messages regarding the design of some hand fabricated 3800 valve covers we were working on. Well, although it took us a little longer than expected, we've come up with two design options (offered in both natural & polished aluminum finish) and we're pretty happy with how they turned out. I've had a set of the #1001'* (first pictures below) installed on my 95 Bonneville SE for just short of 10,000 miles and have experienced no leaks or problems of any sort. We're also working on some other ideas and continue to welcome your thoughts for improving our current designs, as well as ideas for future products.

Obviously, we realize that these are not the cheapest fabricated valve covers on the market for the 3800. These however, do not require custom gaskets (stock style Felpro gaskets included), and utilize a billet rail instead of the weaker rolled edge design like the competition. Bottom line is that these valve covers were built to last. There is no reason why they shouldnt be the last set of valve covers you ever have to buy for your engine. Please feel free to contact me with questions and/or order inquiries.

According to a few people we've spoken with, there is no major difference between the two as far as valve covers go. I'm sure that someone here could confirm or deny that however. If there is a major difference, as long as we have a set of original covers to pattern, we could produce them.

You should expect the quality of the 1001'*. The 1002'* are the same however the pictures did not turn out quite as well. In all honesty, none of the pictures really do the valve covers much justice. They are very nice looking on & off the engine.

I really like them... esp. the 'custom' look ones. it gives a clean look to them. You should post on ClupGP I know a lot of people will want these. You might want to look into making Series 2 L67 valve covers too. I know a lot of people were looking for some. If you do Series 2 L67 keep the 'original' look just because it would be more universial since some companies mount their fuel rails to the valve covers.

Anyways are you still looking at doing a series 1 fuel rail? to make space for an IC? And would it be possible to have a valve cover spacer made up? it would basically just be your base with another groove on the top for another gasket and - the valve cover itself.
